I have a window that closes too tight to the frame on the lock side, such that it requires quite a bit of force to push the handle down. It is clearly tighter on the lock side than the hinge side, by at least 1mm.
I was expecting to see a cam of some sort where I can adjust the lock pin depth, but it would seem the window in question has no adjustment option - the pins are on a metal strip mounted into a pre-cut recess.
I then thought about adjusting the keep position on the frame, but it seems this cannot be moved as it also fits exactly into a pre-cut recess.
Has anyone seen windows like this before? I am out of ideas, and thinking of unscrewing the keep, trimming 1mm off it with a hacksaw, and putting it back. Seems a bit much tho!
